This IS a no judgement room. Any judgmental types, are invited to leave their ego's at the door before stepping inside, thank you.
Because, primarily, I am so sick of seeing that kind of BS on this website and I wanted a happy 'yeah, I'm human' kind of a chat thread. In fact, if i see any narkiness of that kind, I actually might have to give a toss enough to get my verbal scythe out for once and trust me, all you've seen is happy-go-lucky, relatively balanced Revs so far.
You wouldn't like her when she's angry.... (tries to lower her BP so that the green tint doesn't start to show too obviously)
Clearly, if someone has done something injurious to their health and there have been a couple of posts which indicate that this could have been a possibility, there is a natural duty of care to offer support and counsel (as was done by laura when she gave a gentle warning to newbie operatives scarfing down normal food too early, which, lets face it, is dodge-o-rama. Or to the lady whose eating disorder is re-appearing and consequently requires some love and medical intervention). However, may I suggest that if you feel so strongly about those who have posted something a little scary, please message them on the side. After all, tone is everything and can often be misconstrued which leads to those ever-so-tedious flaming sessions.
So, now, back to blending doughnuts and tootsie rolls into Protein shakes to get them in more easily... x

Lost 2 of the rolls on my stomach. Now, all thats left is the bottom one, which is still substantially smaller.
Yay sleeve!

I had similar concerns when I would go out to eat also. I honestly either pick off of other people's plates or I order from the appetizer menu. I used to order regular Entrees but I realized although it may sound good at that point, it doesn't seem appetizing as a left over. In other words, if I want it then, I don't want it again later. It's also not very cost efficient.

most people here will say "as soon as you're up for it."
just keep in mind that you should keep it simple and stay away from the rough stuff

I've been struggling with always HAVING to clear my plate with every meal. I don't know what it is, but I hate seeing food go to waste. I guess celebrities and their commercials about starving children in Africa are to blame. What do you do to avoid eating everything on your plate?
I don't always have access to weigh my food, especially when eating out. This makes it very easy to think "just one more bite" which becomes one bite too many.
I've heard of people asking for to-go boxes as soon as they receive their meal. What else?
I guess the right answer is "just shut your trap and stop eating."

I'm inclined to believe that we all agree with points 1-3. Nonetheless, the reason why you're receiving these responses is not solely because of what you said. But also because of the method in which it was delivered. So in conclusion, you're right... but you're also wrong at the same time, which negates your intention. Trust me... I know. Such is life. SMH!

Sleeved 4/1 at 25 years old. As of today, lost 61 pounds.

lol, Thanks for all of your replies. I think I'll stick with half the dose. I dont want a **** show (no pun intended.. well, maybe a little).
So I should be good to go about 3-4 hours after taking it?

I don't know about all of you, but I just wanna look good naked!

I got some 5 pound hand weights. In the evenings, when I'm watching tv, I grab those and do some weight training exercises. Do that for 15-20 minutes and I dont feel so bad for watching TV

I thought it was just me! I dont know how people say "food doesn't control my life". Really?! I still think about dinner during Breakfast.
